Second, why is it that whenever I read of a flagrant disregard of the basic protocols of human interaction and the law, it seems to involve the phrase, "Maricopa County".
Maybe because the head lawman of that county, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, is himself a notorious criminal...
I agree that many drugs that are available only by prescription should be OTC, but definitely not antibiotics. If too many people take antibiotics, antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria develop, which hurts everybody. A situation in which individuals making stupid decisions can cause harm to society as a whole is somewhere that I think liberals and conservatives can agree the government has the right to interfere.
There is a difference between registering a domain name and paying for hosting. If you paid $56 to register a.com domain, you got ripped off. If you paid $56 for a year of hosting, you got a great deal...
You have to be given modpoints by the system before you can mod people up. The UI will make it fairly obvious that you are able to moderate if and when that happens.
Right. Whether it's "low yield" is irrelevant. Brute forcing a password is "low yield" too -- only a very tiny percentage of times you try a password will it be the correct one.
If medical research were really as close-to-useless as The Fine Summary claims, we'd be hardly better off with modern Western medicine than with homeopathy and prayer. Clearly, we are, refuting the idea that medical research doesn't do a huge amount of good. I'm not saying it isn't flawed, but give it some credit.
And every non-empty set admits *some* group structure, of course, but it certainly wouldn't be under standard real number addition or multiplication, since neither 0 nor 1 is non-computable.
Wrong. Whether real numbers are computable or not doesn't change the meaning of the equals sign.
The computable reals are simply the set of numbers such that there exists a turing machine (equivalently, a C program) that spits out the digits of that number. That's it. Nothing in that definition causes anything mystical to happen, like 0.999... not to equal 1.

Of course it's rape; is that a serious question?
I had exactly the same reaction. It was pretty refreshing.

More popular people (e.g. those that have a bunch of friends to send text messages to) have more sex? I never could have guessed.
Also having a boyfriend or girlfriend is normally a sure sign you'll be sending a lot of texts to that person.

You should be fine. LSD trips can last several hours, but they don't tend to have long-term effects. Stay calm, and good luck! :)
No, it can't, but it can certainly complement it.

Doesn't mean you won't get it eventually.

But 0.999... is not a non-computable real. It's not in that set at all. I can very easily write a C program that spits out 9s forever.
It's not his own interpretation. It's been the standard interpretation among mathematicians for as long as any of us have been alive.

No. 0.888... = 8/9.
0.111... = 1/9.
0.888... + 0.111... = 8/9 + 1/9 = 9/9 = 0.999... = 1
I said "not uncommon", which doesn't mean the same thing as "universally true".
Z isn't R genius. In R, there exists a number between any two other numbers.
No.
Either you misunderstood your physics teacher, or your physics teacher doesn't know math. (Not an uncommon ailment among physicists)
Wrong. "0.999..." does not denote a sequence. It denotes the limit of a sequence; namely the limit of the sequence 0.9, 0.99, 0.999, 0.9999, ...
Thus it is exactly the same mathematical object as 1.
If you haven't studied mathematics in 25 years, maybe you should refrain from making nonsensical comments on threads about math.
We are still much better at math than computers. Maybe you're confusing arithmetic with math.
